Skill Rules & Full Description
Spell Verbal: "I Pierce the Veil of Force and Energy to ...Identify Magic"
Cost: 10 Power Points • Duration: Instant
- This spell will reveal to the caster all the magical properties of an object. Out-of-game, this requires that either the caster sees the item’s card, or that a Marshal has the information to give to the caster. If you have cast an Identify Magic spell on an item, then you know how to use it and can teach someone else how to use it.
- In addition, if cast on a person, the spell will reveal all the information gained by a Know your Magic spell and what rituals are cast upon a person directly and what they do. If the person has a magic item that is giving them the benefit of some ritual, such as Ritual of Defense, the spell will not reveal such.
- This spell will never tell the word to any kind of ward or any other key word an item may have.
